What to do with Matt Kalil

trade his ass. Surely we are not the dumbest team in the league. Actually we may be because of him, but any mofo with that kind of contract and also the joke of not just fans, not just  the media..but even other damn players about being a turnstall is enough to get rid of his ass. 

 

I'll never forgive Ryan Kalil, as great as he was, for allowing/laughing behind the scenes this bull with his brother.

I would absolutely cut him with a post-June 1 designation as soon as the team is eligible to do that.

Yeah, there would be dead money for the next 3 years of about $5M per year, but there would also be cap-savings in the first year of over $7M and the next two years of $11M and $11.5M (base salary + roster + work-out bonuses).

And the roster spot is worth something-- I am not sure I want him as a reserve.  Clark was not good, but better than MK.

As someone to play in a few spots, as a backup, Clark might not be terrible.  He's not the answer as a consistent starter, and he's never going to look like more than an awkward stork coming out of his stance, but if he can just hold up for a half or a handful of plays here and there, he's worth it at a minimum salary.

Cut him. With that $7 Million Dollar savings, offer Daryl Williams a 1-year prove it deal if he doesn't get what he wants in Free Agency / won't sign long-term at a lower rate due to his injury.

2019 Offensive Line:
Moton
Van Roten / FA / Draft
Larsen / FA / Draft
Trai Turner
Daryl Williams

This would be my ideal situation. There is no reason to keep Matt Kalil, even with that contract. He would be riding the bench and taking up a roster spot. Open up a spot and cut our losses.

Can someone explain how we save $7M by cutting Kalil?  It's my understanding that his dead cap money for the next 2 years is rough. 

That being said, I'd prefer to cut him and then use Captain, Adams & Searcy's savings to offset the Kalil hit.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong on Spotrac, but I didn't think we "save" anything with him until 2021.

    • In that case its in his best interest to fully recover. 
    • Looks like we're fifth in running plays/play action plays when in the lead and about 10th in the league when we fall behind.  The biggest thing I take from this is not that we drop off like that, because every team does, but that we drop off so much. A lot of the best teams don't  drop off much, depending on the game situation, preferring to stick to their game plan through out. Some of those are very good teams. Baltimore barely deviates from their run/action heavy plan. At the other end, KC also barely deviates, but they have one of the least run oriented attacks in the league by these stats. On the other side, there are teams that make even bigger shifts (based on last year's performance) and they are teams that for various reasons found themselves in desperation attempts. Dallas, Atlanta, the Browns, Bucs and Bengals were all literally throwing out their game plans and trying to either lean on their top end QB or were just frantically trying to create something downfield. Considering the years of us completely abandoning the run (oh those Matt Rhule days), maybe we are starting to stabilize. Don't even get me started on the Reich days...  
    • I am kindof in the camp that its not an addiction for him just a dumb ass kid who didnt think he would get caught.  I think the "addiction" angle was the story they went with in hopes of not being banned for life   But I doubt we show interest as I think he is going to be pricey (Draft capital wise)
